Rocks
Directed by Sarah Gavron
Produced by Fable Pictures, Film4 Productions
A tender yet precarious coming-of-age story about a teenage girl protecting her brother and herself through friendship and resilience in the face of abandonment and systemic threat.
15-year-old Rocks fears that she and her little brother Emmanuel will be taken into care and forced apart if anyone finds out that their mother has left them. Against all odds, and with the help of her loyal friends, she evades the authorities and navigates the most defining days of her young life.
